The White Sox placed Michael Soroka on the 15-day IL.

Fantasy Impact

Soroka suffered a shoulder injury on Sunday right before the All-Star break. He'll be sidelined for at least the next two weeks as a result of the injury.

Michael Soroka left Sunday's game early with shoulder soreness.

Fantasy Impact

Soroka left in the third inning. There should be an update provided on his status during the All-Star break.

Michael Soroka is likely to remain in the bullpen, per manager Pedro Grifol.

Fantasy Impact

Soroka was thought to be an option to fill in the rotation spot left by the injured Brad Keller. Fantasy managers should expect Nick Nastrini or Jonathan Cannon to likely get the call to join the rotation.

Michael Soroka will be moved from the White Sox rotation to the bullpen.

Fantasy Impact

Soroka has pitched exclusively as a starter so far this season, but his time in the rotation, at least for now, is over. The oft-injured righty has posted an ugly 6.39 ERA and 1.51 WHIP over nine starts. He's also tied for an MLB-high 10 homers allowed alongside a 24-to-24 K/BB across 43 2/3 innings. Brad Keller will move out of the bullpen and into Soroka's spot in the White Sox rotation.

Michael Soroka was mediocre on Thursday, pitching 5 innings, two runs, four hits, two walks, and one strikeout in a 6-3 loss to the Twins.

Fantasy Impact

Soroka allowed two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out just one over five innings. This performance continues a troubling trend for Soroka, whose season ERA now sits at an inflated 6.83 with a 1.69 WHIP through six starts. His low strikeout rate of 4.0 K/9 and high FIP of 7.36 suggest that he's not just unlucky but genuinely struggling to retire batters effectively. Fantasy managers should steer away from Soroka on the waiver wire, as his current form offers little in terms of reliability or upside.
